Young Democrats face Gaza blowback as they try to mobilize students for Biden

Why is all the pressure to compromise or accept bad candidates focused on the left? Why aren't you encouraging the main stream Democrats and "independents" to agree to stop aiding Israel's genocide to prevent Trump's winning? Why is it only progressive or the left that are required to vote against their conscience to save democracy when the center could just as easily compromise to prevent fascism?

How Did DOGE Disrupt So Much While Saving So Little? The group’s biggest claims were largely incorrect, a New York Times analysis found. And its many smaller cuts added up to few savings.

My maga family members actually believe that. They think there were/are tens of thousands of government workers doing literally nothing and collecting pay checks. I don't understand it at all, they are not stupid people but they always fall for and buy in on the dumbest aspects of the right.

Kamala Harris Says 'We Need To Legalize' Marijuana For First Time As Democratic Presidential Nominee

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they reschedule it it is no longer federal illegal. States that want to ban it would still have their laws but removing it from banned substance lists would also remove the federal road blocks to legal use; banking rules, insurance, etc. It should be decheduled entirely and then legislators, state and federal, could decide legality.

They are not banning Americans from coming, only requiring them to get visas. This will make it so you have to apply ahead of time and the government will decide if you can enter, just like when people want to travel from Africa to US.

of course it's not fair, but refusing to vote for the least bad available option is insanity when the stakes are this high

That is literally the only way to get politicians to support the policies and issues that you want them to. The only thing you have that they want is your vote, they only way you will move them on an issue is if you convince them they won't get it otherwise.
